Redirects

You can link a number of titles to a single article by using redirects like#REDIRECT [[Barnard 142]] - it'll save you time and effort. Acroterion _(talk) 20:58, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Too many editors, I think. Which article do you want to be the primary article? Acroterion _(talk) 21:05, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

E Nebula it is. Redirects can get confusing. Acroterion _(talk) 21:06, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

removal of images

I removed the image's you added to Messier 55, and Messier 56. Reason behind this is because images should only be used for illustrative purposes to help describe the subject of the article. So having images that are redundant to each other are not recommended within Wikipedia MOS, they should be used sparingly to save bandwidth. I did not see much difference in quality between the images you added, and the ones in the info boxes, so I left them there. Also, and this is an observation, adding your name to the caption of the image is not desirable, since this does not describe the actual image, and anybody can see who crated the image simply by clicking on it. Placing your name in the image caption, makes it look like your using Wikipedia for self promotion. If you feel that I am in error, I am more than happy to discuss.

RESPONSE: I have re-posted most of these images because the articles in question mostly had some huge, out of scale image of the objects that had no resemblence to what the object looks like to an amateur astronomer. I think that not only should the articles have a Hubble-like image, but also an image that represents what the average astronomy buff might see. I have, however, removed credit captions to myself for the images, but continue to use my name in the file names.Hunter Wilson (Hewholooks) (talk) 00:20, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
